Some conservative and pro-family organizations have touted reciprocal beneficiary agreements as a way to sidestep and perhaps prevent the adoption of gay marriage, domestic partnerships, or civil unions for homosexuals. The truth is just the opposite. Reciprocal beneficiary agreements are merely a lesser step in the same direction. Indeed, they amount to a form of [...]

Authors: Paul Cameron and Kirk Cameron Summary: Because social science is “messy,” just about any criticism of any work — including our efforts — has validity. But the empiricist principle is more important than a theoretical search for perfection in research. The findings from our 1983-1984 nationwide random survey are superior to earlier efforts and [...]

Author: Paul Cameron Summary: Counter to claims by the American Psychological Association and the National Association of Social Workers as well as numerous reviewers that children raised by homosexuals and married heterosexuals do not differ, the elaborate social-personality theory called “common sense” predicts that because “like produces like” and because psychopathy/sociopathy informs the major expressions [...]

Authors: Paul Cameron and William L. Playfair Summary: A decrease in or leveling off of new cases of transfusion-related AIDS coupled with continued increases in homosexual and IV drug cases suggests that intervention by barring contaminated blood has worked and “education” has worked less well, if at all.

Authors: Paul Cameron, William L. Playfair, and Stephen Wellum Summary: Although the U.S. Surgeon General characterized homosexual sex as “normal” and “healthy,” homosexuals and IV drug abusers have suffered disproportionately from the AIDS epidemic.

Western nations are producing too few children to maintain their population. Most of our demographic decline is due to a mix of a self-centered reluctance to have children, birth control, wholesale [...]

Evangelicals were John McCain’s most reliable supporters in the 2008 presidential contest. Exit polls had white Evangelicals voting 74% for him (black Evangelicals, of course, went Barack Obama’s way). This degree of ‘solidarity’ is about as high as it gets among the coalition that makes up the Republican Party. In contrast, 83% of white Jews [...]
